I have the 2009 that had the oil consumption problem resulting in a new short block. Since then nothing has gone wrong. I'd not be diswayed buying another.

make that an F-

No more "issues" in the '09 than the '10 model. Just be careful and have it checked out by a knowledgable tech.

you could also ask a nearby 370 owner to tag along with you (buy him beer or lunch or something), and hive him look at it.

Personally, had i known then what i know now, i wouldve have checkd for so many more things, such as ECU cpu whine, hatch taking 2 tries to open, faulty lug nuts, just stupid things that someone who has had the car for a little while might notice

My hatch does take 2 times to open sometimes, but so did all my 350z's, so I just deal with it.

yea, like i said its not a big deal, however if you are paying 30k, you might as well get everything fixed before you buy.

its a 20 min fix for the dealers.

Car Max: 09 Touring with Sport Package and Nav. $31,988. 5400 miles on the odo.

Now I have that song in my head.

Seriously, Consumer Report did give the 09 a "Not Recommended" rating. If you look closely at the ratings, it has to do with the oil temp issue some have had, body integrity (like the hatch issue), paint (prone to chipping), etc. However, people who respond to the CR survey generally have an extreme view (either very positive or very negative), so it probably does not represent the average owner.

I did my research last year before buying an 09 (I relied a lot on this forum), and decided that as long as I found one with plenty of warranty left, I could buy with confidence. Other than the hatch issue, and a very rare cylinder misfire code (twice on damp days), I've had not problems.

There is a TSB for that, hatch spring should be replaced under warranty, no big deal.

I have a 2009 and its great but I do with I had waited for the 2012 model which is rumored to have the option of a Klingon invisibility cloak. Its a $1500 add on but its great for avoiding police detection when cruising at high speeds.

yea i wish i waited for the 2017 Z, because it will prob be faster, however i settled for an 09

My '09 for sale, 25kmiles, $22.5k - see post in for sale section :)

(Had the hatch TSB fix appplied, ECU noise never bothers me as there's music on or road noise, the clunking moving seat thing stopped happening on mine after first 2-3 months of having the car, it probably settled in)

The 2010 also had a HD DVD screen and DVD DivX playback, USB port and BackUp Camera support in the head software. Not an issue if you are going non-Nav.

^ That's news to me.... the nav systems/screen can play movie dvd's?!?!?!? assume only if parked?
